Every mountain top is within reach if you just keep climbing
Barry Finlay
Somewhere between the bottom of the climb and the summit is the answer to the mystery why we climb.
Greg Child
When faced with a large project, remember you move a mountain one stone at a time
Catherine Pulsifer
Those who travel to mountain-tops are half in love with themselves, and half in love with oblivion
Robert Macfarlane
The only Zen you can find on the tops of mountains is the Zen you bring up there
Robert M. Pirsig
The mountains were his masters. They rimmed in life. They were the cup of reality, beyond growth, beyond struggle and death. They were his absolute unity in the midst of eternal change.
Thomas Wolfe
There is no such sense of solitude as that which we experience upon the silent and vast elevations of great mountains. Lifted high above the level of human sounds and habitations, among the wild expanses and colossal features of Nature, we are thrilled in our loneliness with a strange fear and elation – an ascent above the reach of life’s expectations or companionship, and the tremblings of a wild and undefined misgivings.
J. Sheridan Le Fanu
Purposes, plans, and achievements of men may all disappear like a yon cloud upon the mountain’s summit; but, like the mountain itself, the things which are of God shall stand fast for ever and ever
Charles Spurgeon
